Editor applications

The Public Interest Law Journal of New Zealand is now accepting applications for its 2024/2025 editorial team.

Consisting of Citations Editors, Style Editors and Managing Editors, the Editorial Team is central to the success of PILJNZ. The Team conducts source-finding research, style and argument editing, citations editing and article formatting (house style) work to ensure that articles meet the Journal’s high editorial standards. No prior editing experience is required to become an editor: we provide all necessary training. If you have sharp legal reasoning and writing skills, a keen eye for detail, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn, then we want to hear from you!
